Seam anchor



in the art vto which it Tol all. whom it mayv concern .f

Be it known thatI, Pninir Hosiinafeitiizen. of the United States'gjresiding atjfSt vLouis, Missouri, vhave invented certain Anew and useful 5. Improvement in i `Seam l Anchors, of whichthe )following is at speclication, such as gwil-l enable,v othersl gskilled and use the samegV .i

4. In a seam anchor, a bar adapted to `be inserted in a wall seam andupon distortion lengthwise to engage opposite faces of the seam, a bearing block adapted to be inserted in said seam between said bar and one of the seam faces and frictionally retained to hold said bar in distorted position,`

flange being provided with an enclosed slot surrounding said bar.

7. In an anchor to be mounted in a wall seam, an angular member adapted to extend inwardly of the wall seam and adapted tobe pivoted about its exterior angle on a seam face and in a plane normal to the seam,and an element having a liange forming a seam bearing for said member, having surfaces engaging surfaces of said member at right angles to the seam engaging surfaces .of said member, and having a flange extending at right angles to said bearing flange.

8. In a seam anchor, a bar adapted to be inserted in a wall seam and upon-distortion transversely of its length to engage opposite faces of the seam, a bearing block adapted to be inserted in said seam between said' bar and one of the seamfaces and frictionally retained to hold said bar in distorted positiom'the bar engaging face of said block having a channel-shaped recess, the sides of which engage the edges of slid bar.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature this 12th day of May, 1924.
